In war, logistics do not necessarily help an army to achieve victory, but if it is not done well, it will definitely lead to the complete defeat of an army.

It didn't take long for the demons to enjoy peace, so when the army set off this time, the emperor had already arranged the logistics transportation. This is a large and complex plan, the military rations mainly start from the canal, and the grain stored by the government on the march through various places, and the hay of other armies and soldiers is collected from the whole north, and a large part of all these materials are concentrated in Huguan, and some are consumed in the march of the army.

And in fact, the person who holds this network and ensures that everything works so that the army does not starve and freeze is Xiang Wu.

Whether it is Wang Baobao or the Nine Emperor Prince Yuan Chi, they are both noble-born, amazingly talented, they can do everything they want in their lives, and they are arrogant, but they are convinced by Xiang Wuxin, because they know very well that there are only people in this world who can master such a network like Tianxiong without making any mistakes.

And now, the food shortage of the army that Wang Baobao thought would not happen at all is almost certain to happen.

Neither the emperor nor Wang Baobao had expected a duration of more than three months before the war began.

Qin Tianjian's prediction was very clear, the difference between the Great Change of the Fallen Heavenly Gate and the arrival of the army at Huguan would not be more than half a month, and the subsequent war would not exceed more than a month and a half at most.

The demons have not yet lost their combat effectiveness in peace, and with an absolute superiority of 30,000 native cavalry, plus 50,000 other troops, it is enough to ensure that a defensive line without any loopholes is maintained for a month, even if the same number of troops appear in the Fallen Heaven Gate, it can guarantee victory in battle.

But if the opponent is such a heavy cavalry with heavy armor and unusually handsome horses, this battle line may be chiseled, and then the army will be faced with the unsolvable problem of chasing cavalry in the boundless grassland.

That was a complete failure.

Xiang Wu adjusted the battle plan according to the existing conditions, if the Huguan Pass was used as the center to build a defensive line composed of trenches, almost no losses could make the terrifying cavalry unable to move forward, but at the cost of a long stalemate and the consumption of terror.

"Is that really the only way to go?"

"That's the best chance of winning. ”

Wang Baobao and the emperor expected this situation not to be absent, but that was the worst option, when the army arrived at Huguan, the north had been looted, several large warehouses of rice were left, and the states and counties through which the army passed were like white land, and countless peasant households were bankrupt, which meant that the army's military rations could only rely on the supply of grain from the canal.

In the originally envisaged course of the war, when the war ended, the grain reserves in the north would be depleted, and before that, the army would have no worries about logistics and could fight with peace of mind, and if the course of the war was delayed, every day after that would be a death test for Cao Yun.

The canal will have to remain overloaded for more than a month, and if there is the slightest mistake, the result will be that the army will run out of food and the army will be in great disarray.

It's gambling.

But Wang Baobao had to gamble.

"Are you sure we can stop them all?"

"If nothing else goes wrong, yes. ”

Xiang Wu has become a boring and crazy person in the army, always preoccupied, not smiling, and even leaving room for every word when talking to people.

But all this gives people a special sense of reassurance, and it is precisely because he never makes conclusions lightly that his words are particularly convincing.

"It's really troublesome...... Wang Baobao slumped in his chair and let out a long sigh, "How do I write a recital?"

"Tell me the truth. ”

"And what about the Nine Emperor Princes?"

Xiang Wu was silent.

Yuan Chi didn't want this grand war to turn into a boring stalemate, he was a pure demon, hungry for blood and battle, for him, war was a celebration, and no one could stop him from enjoying the carnival.

But Wang Baobao knew that Xiang Wu's plan was the most secure and the least costly, and in the war, this was the only option.

"Did you know that Jiangnan is not that reliable?"

"You and the Nine Emperor Princes have the right to choose their tactics, but I warn you one last time, if you don't, those black cavalry may escape into the grassland. ”

Wang Baobao smiled: "It's just possible." ”

"Something happened to Jiangnan, it's only possible. ”

Wang Baobao put away his smile and sighed.

"I will tell the emperor all this, and everything is up to him. ”

......

The Emperor was not unaware of what had happened, but he was still surprised.

Mo Yi did everything beyond everyone's expectations, and he quelled a turmoil, a catastrophe that everyone thought could not be stopped.

The emperor did not know what to do with him.

Mo Yi was the only person who was willing to support him in his long career as a prince, and now, Yuan Huang, who became a prince, had not given him or the Mo family anything in return.

However, compared to this, the chaos in Jiangnan is the real trouble.

"Where are the displaced people who gathered?"

"Outside the city, there are disciples of the Mo family to take care of it. ”

The emperor stood in front of Mo Yi with a frown, silent for a long time.

"Jiangnan can't have anything to do," Mo thought at first, maybe the emperor was helpless about the current situation, "I'll go back first......"

"No," the Emperor raised his right hand and stopped Mo Yi, "It doesn't matter if you're there or not. ”

Yuan Huang suddenly turned around, walked to the table and picked up the pen: "I'm afraid Confucianism is already going to do something against the Mo family, if those homeless people are provoked, everything will be over." ”

Mo Yi smiled bitterly, it was not that he didn't know this, but time was pressing, and he pinned all his hopes on the emperor.

Now it seems that he made the wrong choice.

"Everything lies in the Jiangnan family, as long as they are still buying land, the displaced people are endless. ”

"I put the waste farming into pasture for a moratorium, the original intention was to make Jiangnan peaceful, but I didn't expect it to backfire, and now I ......" The emperor smiled bitterly, "What do you think I should do, not to give the Jiangnan family another reason to do it?"

Without waiting for Mo to say anything, the emperor said to himself: "I said that the family is not allowed to annex the land, they will finally grab a piece of meat, I said that everything is business as usual, the family's greed will not be restrained in the slightest, it will only intensify." It's ridiculous!"

A hint of murderous intent flashed on Yuan Huang's face: "No wonder my ancestor has never sealed a knife in Jiangnan." ”

"If the Demon Clan's blade is sharp, it can make the family reined," Mo Yi didn't have a trace of expression on his face, "What's the matter with a big killing." ”

The emperor smiled bitterly: "Now the situation is so dangerous that it is about to erupt, how dare I." ”

Bai Gongzi said that now the situation is like a firewood piling up, but there is still hope for extinguishing the fire. ”
